Shall We Have a Cattle showa

The idea Of cattle show to be held In
San Antonio has been m0oted, and NAV
germinate In the near future. Such ex-
hibliioDs are held In European and
northern cities, and do much to encour-
age the care and better breeding OF stock
10 order to attain the prizes that are Of
fered. In section like Texas, where
cattle rsisiDg Is one Of its principal in-
dustries, an exhibition OF this kind
should not only be popular, but should
do considerable good.

AFUTILE CONFERENCE
Between the Scale Committees OF the
AmaIgamated and Manufacturers.

Between the Scale Committees Of the
AmaIgamated and Manufacturers.
PITTsBURG, PA, June A.-The joint
committee of iron manufacturers and the
Amalgamated Association to arrange q
scale for wages for the ensuing year, held
another futile conference this morning.
The workmen stated that they had no
power to withdraw the ten per cent ad-
vance asked in their scale, but were will
ing to make concessions on the "extras. l"
The managers maintained the stand taken
at the previous conference, thatnO increase
would be granted, and after session OF
three hours the conference adjourned to
meet at ; o'clock this afternoon. The i'm
preston is growing that the committee
will be unable TO agree and that there will
be q strike.
At the afternoon session the manufac-
turer's OfferCd TO compromise by con-
ceding the advance demanded for
boiling, scrappiDg on cinder bottom
and muck rolling. They positively re-
fused, however, to grant the advance to
men in the finishing departments or admit
of new additions to the present scale. The
workers representatives stated they had
no authority to accept the offer, but were
willing to telegraph the proposition to the
various Lodges, provided the manufactur-
ers would agree to sign the scale If the
finishers insisted on their demand
for 10 per cent increase. This was reject
ed by the employers aud the conference
adjourned until next Monday afternoon.
1t is now believed q strike will be averted
by the committees effecting compromise
at the next meeting.

TREND OF TRADE:
THE FIDELITY BANK PAILURk DIsTURBs
BUSINESS EXTENSIVELY.
lis Effects FsR in Many Quarss-A Temporary
SEingency Of Money in New YOrk-Gsnsral
Reports Of Business at Nearly ALI
Points Highly Encouraging.

NEW York, June 24.-R. G. Dun & Co.,
in their weekly review Of trade, say: The
failure of the Fidelity hank Of Cincinnati
with such evidences of rottenness and
fraud that three officials have been locked
up on criminal charges, is the natural
fruit of the wheat corner, but has dis
turbed business during the past week quite
extensively. The prospect that depositors
may recover nothing, that more than eighty
other banks which deposited there will
have losses to bear, and that the fraudulent
rehypothecation of collaterals for loans will
eDtangle the resources OF many who had
nothing to do with the wheat operations,
makes the disturbance
FELT IN MANY QUARTERS.
These events justify the precautions ad-
yised for weeks past in this Review with
respect to the probable failure Of the wheat
corner and its consequences.
Withdrawal of funds from New York to
meet immediate needs at the West have
caused temporary stringencies here,
which speculatOrs have magnified,
but but foreign exchanges SO near
the shipping point and the supply
of unused funds abroad is so large that re-
lief would come quickly il the needs
should become serious. Moreover, large
by the Treasury in July are
close at hand. In the half yearly settle
ments in the struggle to liqui-
date enormous speculations and in
for summer dullness,
however, there may be some pressure for
money during the remaining days of June.
At nearly all the other points money Is re-
ported in good supply. General reports
Of business at nearly all points are
HIGHLY ENCOURAGING
and the increasing prospect Of good crops
adds to the prevailing confidence. Collec-
tions are generally fair or good, and the
volume of business large for the season.

STRIKE DECLARED OFF.
A Financial Loss of Several Million Dol
lars.

A Financial Loss OF seNoral mlilion DOL
lars.
CHICAGO, June 24.-It is difficult to es-
tlmate with accuracy the full extent of the
financial loss resulting from the strike
which the bricklayers declared off last
night. The local loss in wages can be
closely computed and Chicago merchants
can estimate the amount of trade which
has been sacrificed. Aside from this, how
ever, miners are idle in Pennsylvania, saw
mills and their operatives in Michigan and
Wisconsin, and thousands Of men are
thrown out OF work in stone quarries ada
cent to the city. The pressed brick trade
is affected all over the United States and
thousands of dollars lost to railroad COM
panies. Every branch of manufacture iden-
tilted in any way with the building trades
is a direct sufferer from the strike. A
careful estimate made of the loss in wages
to striking and locked out employees in the
vicinity of Chicago alone amounts to two
and one-half million dollars. II would be
difficult TO name trade or business not
directly a sufferer from this protracted

BOLD BURGLARY.
Inmates of a Chicago Boarding House
Chloroformed and Robbed.

Inmates of Chicago Boarding House
Chloroformed and Robbed.
CHICAGO, Ills, June 24.-It has just
been learned that the police are investi-
eating one of the boldest burglaries that
has been brought to their notice in long
time. Tuesday night abig boarding house
at Clybourn avenue was raided, and
twenty boarders chloroformed and robbed.
The thieves went into the rooms one after
another by means Of pincers and false
keys, and after chloroforming the sleeping
boarders robbed them at their leisure.
The latter were mostly employees ofstreet
railroad companies, conductors and drivers,
and nearly oil of them early risers. They
are awakened ordinarily by alarm clocks,
but Wednesday morning they did not get
up until they were aroused by servants some
hours after they ought to have been at
work. 1t required good deal OF shaking
and calling to rouse some Of the men. All
of them complained Of violent headaches,
when it was discovered they had been
chloroformed and robbed. The robbers
evidently did their work hurriedly, as
they did not take time TO find the bank
rolls of the conductors, amounting to
several hundred dollars. The value OF the
plunder secured aggregates several hun
dred dollars.
